Political uncertainty drags bourses

Markets across Europe were defined by red numbers as major bourses, without exception, gave up ground.

Uncertainty surrounding the position of Greece in the eurozone ahead of June 17 elections and the pressure on the Spanish banking system continued to be at the forefront of

investors minds. The ISEQ index followed the continent-wide trend by dropping 1.26%, or 39.76 points, to close the session at 3103.
